It won't work without SSL, this is Google's policy. Please, try again by following the guide step by step.
Pay attention to the paragraph "What to do, if I have a two-step authentication?".

You must create a new application for email access without 2-step authentication.
These are Google requirements that we can't bypass.
Perhaps, you should use another SMPT that you have access to.

all my other servers use tls for gmail so the ssl was a little confusing, also copying and pasting info doesnt help
